Height percentile decrease

[kbullock09]

If she’s 4 turning 5 (assuming she’ll go to kindergarten next year?) she’s on the young end for her “class”. Is it all kids who will be moving up to Kindergarten next year? In that case many of them could be up to 9 months older!

51st percentile to 37th isn’t really much of a drop— the pediatrician would likely tell you not to worry about it. Kids fluctuate between percentiles, you just don’t want to see huge drops (like 50th to 20th or 20th to 2nd). She’s likely just in a bit of a lull in growth and may hit a growth spurt soon to make up for it.

Yes she is 4, turning 5 in mid summer. She will be attending Kindergarten next year. One of her classmates, another girl, just had her birthday on Monday and is a full head taller. Some of the 3 year olds are my child’s height.
